NITZSCHE June, 1920 .CU571778 *^ JUL 24 1920 \^ .c PREFACE. This little guide book to Philadelphia was prepared by the editor at the request of the Convention Committee of the Rotary Club. It is not an exhaustive treatise on Philadelphia, but is intended simply as a brief guide for visitors. To make a guide book of a city attractive reading is almost impossible, and to know what to include in a book of limited size is difficult. No two visitors have exactly the same tastes or interests. It is also difficult to classify properly the various points of interest; but it is believed that the classifications herein employed will be found as convenient as any. If some attractions have been given more or less space than they merit, or if anything has been omitted, the editor begs his readers to be indulgent. The real object of this preface is to create an opportunity to thank those who assisted the editor in gathering and com- piling this material. Among them he desires to acknowledge especially the courtesy and assistance of Geo. W. Janvier; the International Printing Co.; Jessie W. Clifton; Charles Fair- child; Elmer Schlichter; Frank H. Taylor; Wm. Rau, for many of the photographs herein reproduced; Jessie C.

COOPERMAN, PHD FOR THE PRESERVATION ALLIANCE FOR GREATER PHILADELPHIA JULY 2009 ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH AND CULTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTING HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CLUSTER 1 PHILADELPHIA PRESERVATION PLAN PHASE 1 2008-2009 INTRODUCTION HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CLUSTER 1 FRANKFORD, TACONY, WISSINOMING AND BRIDESBURG: INDUSTRIAL VILLAGES OF THE UPPER DELAWARE RIVER WATERFRONT EDITED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY EMILY T. COOPERMAN, PH.D. Cluster 1 consists of a group of neighborhoods closely connected to the Delaware River and the smaller waterways that formerly fed into it (Frankford Creek and its tributaries as well as Wissininoming Creek) in a portion of the city that was accessed mainly by boat and a single roadway in the first century of Philadelphia’s settlement. Like many other areas of the city, the neighborhoods of Cluster 1 were developed to a great extent because of the industries that were founded there, and their fortunes have risen and fallen with the city’s industrial growth and subsequent decay. Frankford was one of the earliest settled villages in the former Philadelphia County. Bridesburg was built on flat land made habitable by fill and bulwark along the riverfront. The land in Wissinoming and Tacony was characterized by country seats and farms until past the mid-nineteenth century when Henry Disston moved his Saw Works from Northern Liberties to land that had not yet been developed except for agriculture use. In the twentieth century, these neighborhoods became more closely connected to Center City through the completion of the Frankford Elevated subway in 1915.
